open | your baddest behavior

[cozen]

WHO: Alexandrie, Bastien, Byerly, and their captive audience
WHAT: Mandatory etiquette and dance lessons
WHEN: Justinian 15, 9:45
WHERE: The Gallows
NOTES: See the OOC post and IC announcement for more information! If you didn't sign up, you can still participate in Parts A and D, and just handwave the other two, without needing to sign up or get an assignment. If you want to do B and C, you can find your own dance partner/seating group OOC, or you can sign up now and we'll dole out new assignments if we get enough latecomers to do so. If you signed up and are missing from the lists when you shouldn't be, I'm sorry and please tell me!

Comments

"He does, doesn't he? I got the same impression." A shameful waste of a figure, in her opinion, but that's hardly polite ballroom conversation, even she knows that.

"You never know what you're going to get with rifters, do you?" They've certainly run the gamut. "But he seems eager and there's an air of competence, so we figured it was worth a try. If nothing else he was smart enough not to come through and start shouting, so that's something. It puts him in fairly select company." She doesn't feel the need to tack on an actual pointed look toward Petrana.

"Given the diversity of life experiences, a diversity of reactions are only to be expected, I should think," he says, mildly. "Some of them seem better primed to adapt than others."

And then there's the sneaking suspicion that all of them are, somehow, echos from the Fade that could vanish when Corypheus is dealt with, or literally any time before then. It's a worry he's doing his best to ignore for the time being.

"Of the rifters I might be inclined to worry about, from a diplomacy perspective, he is not near the top of the list." Implying that Julius has a list. He probably does.
